The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) affects feed manufacturing through provisions involving the safety of food consumed by animals and safety for humans handling the food, particularly pet food.
“This law touches every aspect of feed manufacturing: all ingredient processing, all feed manufacturing, all pet food, all feed and ingredient imports and transportation,” explained Dr. Henry Turlington, director of quality and manufacturing regulatory affairs, American Feed Industry Association, at the International Rendering Symposium held during the 2015 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE).
